47 Best American Restaurants in Bethlehem

“I saw a review on crypto investment that changed my story for good. I never believed it at first but after much convincing by my account manager in the person of Mrs Craig Vanessa I decided to give it a trial with just $5,000 even though there was a lower cost of investment. Starting with this, I made a profit of $35,500 in the first week. I am sharing this here for those that may have an interest. Mrs Craig Vanessa is genuine and her style of trade is unique. Completely top-notch and different from the rest. Contact her today and you will not regret it. Send her a DM on WhatsApp via the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“We keep coming back for more! Great shrimp n grits- cornbread (the best!) Awesome atmosphere - a gem of a place. Awesome taste of New Orleans here in Bethlehem PA!“

“The Gute is the best pub in town. GREAT grub. Family friendly. Sports fan heaven. PHENOMENAL staff. The best bang for the buck in the Lehigh Valley. Every town in America should have a place like The Gute. But only we do…😎“

“Christie and Julie were AMAZING!!! Not only are they fun, personable and so bubbly but they know recommendations for great food! By far the best part of Brew Works! Been coming here for almost 20 years and this will always be my first and favorite stop in Bethlehem.

Try the crème brûlée, the pots du crème and the stout brownie sundae are the perfect choices to end your meal on a very delectable and sweet note.“

“Great breakfast! Fast friendly service. Reasonably priced.“

“I haven’t been to Perkins in a few years, but last night I had a fantastic dining experience! The food was EXCELLENT, the waiter was super efficient and very nice, and the Manager, Chase, was exemplary. Chase was so friendly and courteous and he really put a perfect touch on the entire evening. I live in the Lehigh Valley and I will definitely come back more often to Perkins on Rt. 22! Thanks Chase and Team for all of your hard work and for making a Wednesday night meal memorable!“

“I held a dine and donate here on Thursday December 5th. Kirsten was very helpful with helping me set it up and very pleasant to work with. Our server, Josh was attentive and polite. He was always checking on us making sure our drinks were always full and clearing plates when we finished our apps and food. Joth, the manager, checked in on us several times throughout our meal making sure everything was to our liking. I’d definitely recommend this establishment. We had a great experience all around!“

“Indoor atmosphere was nice but outdoor seating was full. We visited around 5:30ish and waited about 20 minuets to be seated. Food and service was just ok for what I got. Prices were reasonable. I'll visit again to explore other food options though.“

“Great place, great service. Awesome food and drinks.“

“I went last night because I was staying in the attached hotel. The place does seem to be lightly staffed, but the person who served me was perfectly polite and nice. I had, unenthusiastically, planned to order a hamburger and fries, but the server talked me into having the French Onion Soup and Chicken Caesar Salad instead. I'm so glad she did.The Chicken Caesar was delicious, but it was far overshadowed by the soup. The soup was simply delicious. I will probably be talking about it for quite a while.“

“There once lived, upon the banks of fertile Ilium, an old fisherman and his son. For twenty years, the old fisherman sat and caught sunfish under the hemlocks and the yellow groves. Upon pondering his older years, as all men of age must do, thus he spoke: “Here I lay, in fair and joyous health, breathing the Achaean sea and the gentle Autumn headwind. I am craving some soup. So that to me, who has lived neither in rue nor wholly without the benefit of good favour, the breath of old age might come softly upon me. O heavenly father, if ever you looked upon mine humble head and saw my sacrifices in your name, grant me this and only this for my piety.” Thus he spoke, and thus the eternal heavens groaned, Jove having given answer unto the tide of fateful eternity. And so, upon his deathbed, the fisherman’s son gave inspiration to himself, and birthed the culinary magnum opus known venerably in our present day as “American Vegetable Soup”.“

“Simply the Best!! Highly recommended!!“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at ZEST on 2-22-25. It started at the bar with Travis & Justine. Very friendly, attentive, and welcoming bartenders. They explained the drink and dinner menu and answered our questions. Our server for dinner was Emily and she was amazing! Friendly and attentive not only to us, but to the tables around us! She made sure drinks were refilled and that we received fresh cutlery when our entrees arrived. We were very pleased and will be back again! Thank you ZEST!“

“I was floored seeing only 92% of people would recommend Mitzi’s. That other 8% can, well, you know. We love Mary, Nikki, and Tasha. They take great care of us and treat you like you are part of the family. We have been going here for a few years and have been going weekly for the last few months. I look forward to it every Saturday morning. The PANCAKES NEVER DISAPPOINT! Whether it’s the standing Nanner Nutter Pancakes or their seasonal Pumpkin Pancakes, I am always a happy camper. Their bacon is amazing. I’m not a sausage person, but my husband loves it (and it’s made in house). When we went to Canada this summer, I wanted to find a cute little place like Mitzi’s except it didn’t exist. Then I wanted to open one there. lol. It can be a slower paced atmosphere, so if you are on a schedule, allow extra time, but I promise, it is worth every second. Everything done at Mitzi’s is done with LOVE. Don’t forget to order the beignets!“

“3rd time here. Each time tried something new and was never disappointed. Food is delicious and you can tell the chef takes pride in every dish. Make a reservation because the place is always packed. I wish i could bring the chef home to cook every night.“

“South Philly has great Philly cheesesteaks. My friend couldn’t eat bread but they accommodated him with putting in a plate. We love the fries and sandwiches from here. This place is a must go if you want a good cheese steak . They also have a good variety of other options here. Staff is always friendly but sometimes communication is difficult

Wheelchair accessibility: Always wheel chair accessible“

“I finally made it to Eli's original steaks and subs... what a sin to have waited so long! these are the pinnacle of steaks in the valley, they rival the best on Philly for sure! strongly recommend. Eli's basic steak sandwich is phenomenal, and those made with the in-house ribeye are better yet. succulent meat, savory spices, and the bread is unbeatable do yourself a favor and get there a soon as possible if you like a great sandwich!“

“Food is always fantastic, service is top notch.“

“Drove over an hour for my husband to have a delicious birthday lunch! As always food was delicious and we had above and beyond great service! Waitress was a perfect example of what a waitress/waiter should be. Excellent customer service especially in a world full of craziness-it was a nice change of pace!“

“terrific food in a warm and inviting and intimate dining space! will definitely be back! thank you for a wonderful evening!“

“Hands down the best coffee shop in Bethlehem. Great service, lots of milk options, my friends and my husband love the coffee drinks there, and I personally adore their matcha latte. I also tried their chocolate croissant, and I really liked it (and I’m French lol).“

“I hosted my friend's baby shower at the Tavern at the Sun Inn and cannot say enough great things about the venue. From start to finish everything was great. Bill was so responsive to all of my emails, the food was delicious and the waitstaff was excellent. I highly recommend hosting any party there. You will not be disappointed.“

“Service was good. Just stopped for drinks after dinner one night with a group of friends. Not a single soul on the “club” side after 10pm on a Saturday. It didn’t seem like the Tally of yesteryear. But the drinks were good and staff was friendly.“

“Big Dining & Outdoor Dining Area, Nice Place, We had good Service, Good French Onion Soup with Garden Salad and A Nice, Yummy Dessert!!! First Time There!!!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had such a great experience at Applebee’s thanks to our amazing waiter, Tremaine! He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional throughout our entire visit. He made sure our drinks stayed full, checked on us just the right amount, and had a great attitude that made us feel welcomed and taken care of. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and it made our dining experience so much better. Thank you, Tremaine, for your excellent service—we’ll definitely be back and hope to have you again!“

“Went here for drinks with my bestie, the service from everyone was exceptional, super kind and friendly. Was skeptical of food because i can be a bit picky and didn’t really plan to eat, however the food was actually WAY better than I was expecting. My burger was cooked to perfection, the mac and cheese was TO DIE FOR. (Whoever made that cheese sauce needs a raise) if you need a good place to stop or can’t find a spot to eat, check out this place! 9/10“

“We had a great time at Edge! Incredible drinks made by Adam and enjoyed the banter with Adam and Devin (the other bartender). My husband and I were out for a date night, we had dinner first there and then moved to the bar for a nightcap. We had so much fun and appreciated the conversations. Highly recommend Edge! The creamy expresso martini is unbelievable!“

“Had a late breakfast there today. Even though crowded, the food and the service was excellent. Great eggs Benedict and a wonderful white sangria. Our server Ashlynn was exceptional. What a fabulous attitude!“

“when did for some entertainment the one waitress Cindy was fantastic“

“THE OWNER IS AMAZONG! visited my beautiful hometown for musikfest....brought my hubby here for spme brews amd food....the owner manager (dude with blond hair, hat, and contagious energy) helped us....the severs were only okay (sorry but true, I work in customer servolice) but that dude is WHAT'S UP. For what it is worth, thanks, man! We loved you!!“

“I had a great time. Can't wait untill next Wednesday. Hope to go to more functions? Looking forward to the clam bake I hope we can do that? maybe some dancing, have to find someone that won't drop me...lol. I just want to meet people and have fun, laugh, have a good time! Wonders looks like it is a good place for that?“

“I love coming to the 3rd street location. The service is great. But I love coming in when Jen and Johnny are there they are always so nice to talk with and always laughing. And the food is always hot and great“

“freakin AWESOME! i came in here expecting solid food, but i got incredibly service (from sit down to check only took forty minutes!!) and an attentive waiter, with the juiciest burger ive had in years AND an appetizer for only twenty bucks?? oh my god!! im coming back for sure!“

“Was in area for Taco Fest which was cancelled due to weather & decided to eat locally. 313 accommodated us along with 2 pups & kids in the outdoor area. The atmosphere was pleasant, food was good & our server was wonderful…even brought a piece bacon to the pups. 😊 We will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you for such a great experience! ❤️“

“Great service and atmosphere“

“Excellent service, delicious food! Had the short rain ravioli, French onion soup dumplings, crab cakes and the steak on a stone, all excellent! Cocktails are made with their house infusions, they have some really interesting drinks, fig and fennel bourbon, really top notch.“

“Strolled in here FOUR minutes before closing time after a hectic day of traveling. The manager Michelle was so understanding and allowed my family and I to sit in and enjoy our meal. We weren't rushed and the food was delicious and served to our liking. Our server Laura was the best, she checked on us regularly and refilled our drinks as soon as it got low. What a great end to a crazy day....THANK YOU APPLEBEE'S ♥️“
